Cake Trend - Hand Painted Cakes and Statement Flowers

Hand painted Wedding and Birthday Cakes take centre stage in this feature. There is something very relaxing about taking your time to produce a cake with fine detail. We are just loving how these cakes work so well with bold colours and pastel shades alike. Team your carefully painted cake with co-ordinating statement flowers. Whether they be made out of sugar florist paste, wafer paper or even real ones they pull the look together and give the cake that finished wow factor. Rainbow dust have an amazing range of ready to use 100% edible paints. The paint it range are matt crisp colours that you will find easy to use giving good even coverage. These will suit many styles of cakes. The other range of food paints come in pearlescent or metallic should you want to step up the glam.

Sugarflair paste colours can be mixed with a little water to make an edible paint very easily. They have a beautiful collection of pastel shades which work well together, in particular we are loving bluebell, lavender and aztec blue. You can also use these to colour your buttercream and sugarpaste icing to achieve a pastel version of the colour that you are painting with which is very handy and money well invested. Another multi purpose product by Sugarflair is there dust colours. The lustre range and the blossom tints are both powder form suitable for dusting over your sugar flowers and models, you can also intermix these dusts to achieve a variety of colours, simply genius!
